Burdock root

An edible crunchy root vegetable. It is essential to stir fry cooking and stewed dishes in Japan, but is not well known in other regions. Burdock is rich in polyphenols such as dietary fiber and antioxidants. The peel contains even more glutamic acid than the inner portion. It is recommended to not peel burdock, but rather wash it with a scrubbing brush and cook with the peel as is.
